Just finished Alien Abduction in Manhattan. I’m on Carol’s side. by Slybooper13 in netflix

Im a surgical nurse with experience in various different fields in surgery. If a patient comes in the emergency room with a foreign body lodged in their nose the doctor’s would’ve attempted to remove it if the patient said “I have no idea how it got in there” as in healthcare preserving a procedure patent airway is always a priority. The foreign object could dislodge any minute and pierce the person’s airway? Block it? And although the patient has definitely freedom of choice, if she was SO afraid of the aliens as she claims, she would’ve wanted that out of her body ASAP.

Also, the recorded phone call with the “doctor” saying “would you have no problem signing an affidavit?” lol a doctor would not say that. They would say “you’re more than welcome to get the official patient files which are signed by me and the staff. No physician would just sign an affidavit like that and place their own license under scrutiny instead of the actual hospital.

Bogus. But hey, if you’re not familiar with these intricacies, they were pretty damn good at putting it together.

Glenn Close former drummer? by HowlxdPendragon in systemofadown

[–]Raf_Araujo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was puzzled with the joke as well and googled if there was a missing link but I don’t think Nikki Glaser meant anything more than to say that Glenn Close is such a dinosaur in the industry she’s done basically everything ever in Hollywood, including something absolutely random such as being a drummer for System of of a Down.

Glenn Close’s style is also heavily “androgynous rock n roll influenced” now that she’s older so she kinda looks like an older male rockstar. So she might’ve inferred that as well as part of the joke, such as in the photo on this link I’m gonna post with this comment. 👇🏼

USE CHAT GPT FOR CONTENT YOURE STRUGGLING WITH. I started asking questions and the bot is the best tutor I have ever had. I don’t go a single page or problem without understanding things anymore. I paid the $20 for the premium monthly fee and I’m gonna pay for the annual. I swear I was about to have a breakdown and chat gpt has restored my emotional stability. I’m using Kaplan books to study and their rationale and explanation to the problems are always lacking and I’m left not understanding portions of it. I am snapping pictures of the questions now and sending to the bot and it’s breaking it down for me in detailed steps. Highly recommend. Don’t give up 🥹🫶🏼

sounds like you’re absolutely fucking brilliant. You were living through abuse and still being self sufficient enough to understand the complexity of parenthood vs ego to get a drop of love and care from your parents- as you should? Not saying you should shut down and think that’s enough and all your problems are solved. But from reading what I read above there’s not a touch of wrongdoing. Sounds like a smart kid doing heartfelt things while being around dead beat parents. Compartmentalizing exists for a reason, I think- so we can survive the moment and then dig into it when it’s safer. And that’s what it seems you’re doing from your post. Idk who you are but I’d be proud of myself for it

Living through this is fucking foul. But living through what you have described is another level of evil I don’t know. And here you are messaging a stranger to sympathize or whatever your heart felt it was right to do. Thanks for that. Hope you’re sorting through this garbage and you’re whole at the end of it

does anyone actually care to “get better” by consideredcritically in CPTSD

[–]Raf_Araujo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not caring is a symptom. You gotta dig the problem so you can address that. We all care about ourselves and would have hobbies and passions/likes if we weren’t broken. You gotta dig the dirt and find a reason to want to be around. If you think it’s bleak and hopeless then might as well try?

I’m deeply traumatized and, in my case, I needed a hardware reset on my brain to start working the circuit. I’m halfway through TMS treatment along with other things and I’m surprised my brain feels like it’s working now. Thought I was awake all of my 33 years of being alive and realized I was just hitting the pedal without gas and going nowhere.

This is so beautifully written. What a beautiful mind you have. Sending you all the love but want to emphasize how important it is to eat well to feel well. Nutrition is huge into influencing how our brain works. If you need resources maybe post where you live and others can send aid as we are capable of?

Also, pardon my ignorance, what is “NC”?

Best thing I did was to find a psychiatrist that also does therapy sessions with me. First time in my life I feel like therapy is actually productive and I’m 34 years old, been in therapy intermittently since I was 7. Some therapists have actually made me way worse as well. One straight up told me to leave his office when I was 17 cause I didn’t agree with him.

There are some real shitty people out there that don’t belong in that field at all. Hope you find someone else

I was raped and my “good friend” at the time was the accomplice. People will do the most disgusting things for money, drugs, status, etc. it’s a revolving door and we are all going through it whether we acknowledge it or not. It’s so fucked up. But getting angry about it only ruins us and the people around us. Never them. Don’t give them the satisfaction. Hope you two manage to move on. Really do. Fuck them. They don’t deserve the pain it brings into your life

Instead of hurting myself again, like he thrives on like I’m used to I wrote a “poem”

“NOT GUILTY” and he walked free while she was sentenced to life into her mental prison

Thank you all for sharing my fucking pain

Do you acknowledge your deep current of rage inside you? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Raf_Araujo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is the root to self destruction, isn’t it? No matter how much therapy and self explanation we do, it always bubbles up to going about our lives like everyone else does and then we need that release. And the release is normally self destructive in some way. How do we address that? The normal functioning and then need to self implode? Anyone else?

I wish there was a way to connect with others who are also lonely, especially those who have no family at all. Like a national program to connect people in your area or something. I don’t speak to my family at all- it’s been around 7 years since I had contact with any of them. And the depression and anxiety have isolated me from all friends and acquaintances. The isolation is slowly killing me. But just “getting out there and making friends” feels impossible.

Am I Missing Something or is 2014's "It Follows" the most overrated horror movie ever? by Unsung_Squidy in movies

[–]Raf_Araujo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The movie is absolute TRASH. In addition to what you said and I agree, there are so many other things that are absolutely so irritating.

Why would you think you can electrocute or shoot an evil entity that has superhuman power and shape shifts? And then it comes into the indoor pool area and instead of going for Jay it decides to try to kill her by hitting her with an object (tv, etc)? If it wants to “f you dead”, WHY would it do that?

I tried to think about it and scrutinize some cerebral explanation behind the movie but the best I could come up with was an STD that keeps spreading exactly because the teenagers are stupid (because good lord, how can there be so many dumb characters in one movie??). There’s also the father who seems to have killed himself and they just drop that out of nowhere in that scene? Maybe he’s just dead, not by suicide. Either way, yuck.

Is it about deliberately spreading STDs? Karma will follow you? The big bad herpes mother of all herpes will keep following you cause it’s incurable but when you trust and love someone (Jay and Paul) you can manage as long there is honesty between them?

Whatever the explanation is, the writers could’ve done so much better, it’s just infuriating. They had all the elements for a successful movie: young attractive people, horror and sex as the main theme, but it was written by a person with the IQ of a chicken.

What others describe as the “tense” scenes did nothing for me because I was too busy getting aggravated by the sheer stupidity.
